Abstract
A control system for a switched reluctance (SR) machine is disclosed. The SR machine may have a rotor and a stator. The control system may have a converter circuit operatively coupled to the stator and including a plurality of gates in selective communication with each phase of the stator, and a controller in communication with each of the stator and the converter circuit. The controller may be configured to command a fixed dwell of a theta-on angle and a theta-off angle and a varying current command to the plurality of gates when the SR machine is in a continuous conduction mode.
